The National President of the Youth Ambassadors of the Christ Evangelical Mission, Mr Bernard Asamany, has called on the youth in the country to shun the company of people who would like to use them as couriers of narcotic drugs as that could ruin their lives.
He also advised the youth not to engage in promiscuous lives during the Ghana 2008 football tournament.
He said “although most visitors who would be patronising the event may be looking strong and healthy, they are also likely to be HIV positive”.
Mr Asamany, who said this in a New Year message to members of the Youth Ambassadors of the Christ Evangelical Mission, asked young Christian youth not to get involved in activities that sought to disrupt or cause confusion in the run-up to the general election in December.
“Let us all be mindful that this is our beloved country and any upheaval would only succeed in retarding the socio-economic and democratic development achieved so far. The successes accrued over the years can be eroded if we allow indiscipline, lack of respect for the elderly, gossip, hatred, sexual promiscuity and other worldly things to engulf us as Christians,” Mr Asamany stated.
